A Colorado Colony.

1t is proposed to organize colony of so
Der and industrious young men and mer
with families, to settle upon some fertile
lands in southern Colorado, for the purpose
of building town, planting vineyards and
orchards and establishing contented and
prosperous community.
All who desire to join with this object in
view are invited to send their names and
residence to either of the undersigned,
stating number in family, amount of means,
profession, or trade; to the end that we may
enlist all the elements necessary for the sue
cess of the enterprise.
The lands we propose to settle upon are
fertile in the extreme. with climate suited
to the growth of all kinds of vegetables and
cereals also all small and standard fruits,
including the nectarine, apricot and peach.
There will be an abundance of water for r-
rigation, thus insuring successful soil cul-
ture
A town will be laid out with lots for bus
mess and residence purposes, these last in
creasing in size as they recede from the bus
iness center, upon the plan adopted by the
Greedy Colony. Wide streets " i'll be made
a special feature of the town and suitable
reservations will bo made for churches
schools, public buildings and parks.
No saloons will be allowed within the
town limits or on the adjoining lands
Temperance is the basis of coutentment,
happiness, prosperity, the sure safeguard of
virtue and the shield of the weak. A strict
prehibitory clause will be inserted in the
deeds to lots and lands in order to secure
these desired ends.
Those with some means are enlisted In
this work, as the first year of colony life is
of necessity one in which the work of estab-
fishing the home and preparing garden, or
chard and farm lands must be done and but
little in the way of crops. save for home sub
sistence, can be counted upon.
A membership of five dollars is required,
which is to be used for the incidental ex-
penses of organization, location of lands,
ETC., which will be fully accounted for to
the colony officers. As soon as sufficient
number of members is secured, active steps
will be taken to complete the organization
It may not be out of place to state here
that the Colorado gentleman whose name is
appended to this call and who has agreed to
join this enterprise, was connected with the
settlement of the now prosperous towns of
Greeley, Fort Collins and Colorado Springs,
and has had an experience of seventeen
years in the building of towns, irIigating
anals and the development of agriculture
and fruit growing in Colorado.
It is desirable that settlement in the new
town be made AS early as possible. Write
us at once of your intention concerning this
promising enterprise.
